IPR Helpdesk
http://www.cordis.lu/ipr-helpdesk/en/h_001_en.htm
The European Commission has established the multilingual IPR-Helpdesk: one central reference point for IPR inquiries throughout the European Union. The website provides a wealth of information for visitors from diverse backgrounds and with varied interests. The aims of the IPR-Helpdesk are:
� To raise awareness of the importance of protecting and exploiting Europe’s IPR assets. Special attention will be paid to developments arising from EU-funded R&D projects.
� To assist European researchers in such projects, as well as potential future applicants to EU-funded research programmes, in locating and licensing existing technical developments.
� To support such teams in locating the assistance necessary to register, protect and exploit their inventions.
The IPR-Helpdesk will become the European Commission’s reference point for all questions concerning IPR issues. In fulfilling their tasks, the Helpdesk team will establish wide-ranging contacts with Patent Offices, patent lawyers’ associations, university communities, and others involved in IPR issues in all EU member states. The IPR-Helpdesk will act as a catalyst to link those seeking assistance on IPR issues with organisations able to provide the necessary help.
The IPR-Helpdesk will also develop on-line tutorials on subjects relating to IPR issues. The first modules on IPR are on line. These articles offer a theoretic approach of IPR, introducing patents at http://www.cordis.lu/ipr-helpdesk/en/im001_en.htm, trademarks at http://www.cordis.lu/ipr-helpdesk/en/ im002_en.htm, industrial models or designs at http://www.cordis.lu/ipr-helpdesk/en/im003_en.htm and copyright at http://www.cordis.lu/ipr-helpdesk/en/im004_en.htm.
